John-Luke Roberts: Terrible Wonderful Adaptations

23:00, 12 - 20 Aug

Following three culturally deeply unsettling, sell-out smash-hit runs, this bafflingly entertaining late-night comedy extravaganza returns to the Fringe for a fourth hammer blow. JLR wrangles an all-star cast of the best comedians and worst idiots into creating a one-time-only, never-before-seen adaptation of an unadaptable text.

Previous catastrophic attempts include: Francis Fukuyama's political treatise The End of History, post-structuralist Roland Barthes' A Lover's Discourse, the iTunes Terms and Conditions, Susan Sontag's Against Interpretation and Á la Recherche du Temps Perdu.
